Negima!? - Reviews

Accidentally watched this after reading the manga thinking it was the anime version...realized after dropping the show that is was a "Remake." Avoid this if you liked the manga- it's nothing like it. It's basically a shonen show with battles and annoying talking animals and no fanservice.

Negima!? (2nd Season of Mahou Sensei Negima!) is an overall good Anime to watch if you're after pure randomness, a lot of Yuri and Girl-on-girl action (Fights mainly, although there are a few "nice" girl parts).

Negima lacks even a half-decent storyline. There is almost no storyline at all, it's almost as brittle as rusted steel wires. The "storyline" focuses on Negi as he tries to keep his wizardry a secret, which of coures completely fails since he makes Pactios with every 31 of his students, although only 29 of them willingly pactiod. Evangaline and Yue were forced into theirs. The storyline splits into several, uneeded sub-storylines. It would be no different from a regular American cartoon if there was not even a strand of a storyline. Which there is, but only a strand.

As far as the graphical animation of the series, it's unbelievable. Many shades and lights and colors are used for the characters and the effects of the actions they do really bring out how realistic it could be. It's hard to copy or even beat this good of animation the producers put into it. The only bad thing is that it may seem a little "too" good for some people as I have heard some say.

A wide variety of sound effects are in many situations and a lot of the characters actions as well. Other than that, nothing different nor special that compares this to other anime sounds.

All of the characters have solid, straight-forward personalities. They are rather easy to figure out within the first 2 episodes or so. Although each personality is very different, there is a sense that all of the characters personalities intertwine and connect each other to make the anime as good as it is as far as the characterse go.

Overall, I wouldn't watch this if you're after a serious, solid storyline. This particular Anime is for people who are after two things - Randomness, and Comedy. There is a bit of Romance too, however the romance in here isn't sensual enough nor powerful enough to have a profound effect on the Anime series. A score of 7/10 is given in my opinion. The only thing I would have changed was to have a more serious and solid storyline. If that were in, this would be an undoubted 10/10.
